About Me

Cheers to the last April weekend! This month definitely flew by, hasn't it? Tomorrow we are off to a garden party (fingers crossed for good weather) and on Sunday I'm hoping to just relax, sleep in and listen to Miles Davis on repeat. How about you? Wishing everyone a lovely next two days! I'll see you back here on Monday morning, but in the meantime, fancy going down the internet rabbit hole? Enjoy!

Swoon, Ari Seth Cohen has done it again! Since 2008 this brilliant guy challenges the cultural norms of fashion and celebrates the beauty of aging. Earlier this week he came out with his second book, and above are a few snaps that totally sum up what fashion should be - playful, dapper, sophisticated, (at times) saucy, joyful, uniquely us and definitely ageless.

For mornings when you need an extra dose of pick-me-up, try mixing half a cup of coconut oil with half a cup of coffee grounds, and instead of placing the mixture into a jar, divide it into muffin tins or ice cube trays and freeze it to create those nifty morning wake-me-up scrubbies. Kelly says those little cubes increase blood flow to the area as they exfoliate and give an instant boost when you're not quite ready to face the day. (Here is the full recipe).

Look up! A brilliant Slovenian photographer, Katja Jemec, created a series of images showing shelter dogs in a funky new perspective to raise awareness about abused and neglected pups across Europe. Instead of looking down on stray dogs, she hopes that these images will help people realize that shelter dogs can be loving pets if you only give them a chance. Brilliant!

Does your hair get frizzy or appears to be damaged no matter how well you try to nourish it?

Here is a top tip to make this all go away. Simply invest in a microfiber hair towel. Last month after Samantha’s recommendation, I took the plunge and got this smooth operator thinking it will either be a miss or a hit - and just after a few uses I'm already chuffed with it!

Supposedly, frizz and hair damage starts with how you dry your hair and according to experts, regular towels can be too rough on hair causing friction and breakage, which leads to sad locks. While a microfiber towel is designed to be super gentle on your hair.

Breakups aren’t easy and everyone has their unique way of dealing with a loss. For example, after her relationship ended, Isabella Giancarlo found herself unable to stomach foods she once savoured. So in order to work through the messiness of saying goodbye, she faced it with baked goods. She gathered various breakup lines and placed them on pies and cakes to be eaten or tossed and never be seen again.

She said: 'To me, desserts suggest: Go ahead. Gorge. Engage with the uncomfortable, sticky feelings that are so often dismissed as self-indulgent.'
